Inspection and hotspot mapping
We assess where silverfish are appearing and check likely harbourage areas around moisture, stored items, and gaps where they can travel.
If you are seeing fast-moving silver-grey insects in bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, or near skirting boards, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help identify the source and target the conditions that keep them returning.
Silverfish usually thrive where moisture, poor ventilation, and hidden food sources overlap. Our inspection focuses on finding those hotspots and then treating to reduce activity.
What silverfish control is for
Silverfish control aims to stop recurring activity by addressing the hiding places and the conditions silverfish need. If you have ongoing sightings, an inspection helps confirm the pattern and choose the right scope for your home or business.
You may notice small silver-grey insects scurrying across tiles at night, or finding them around bathroom walls, laundry baskets, under sinks, and along skirting boards. In some cases, you will also see clusters near damp areas or behind stored items.

Silverfish are commonly found in damp, sheltered indoor areas. People often notice activity around bathrooms, laundries, under sinks, along skirting boards, and near cracks or gaps that give them access to harbourage.
You will be given practical preparation steps so technicians can access the affected zones and work safely. Typically this includes making sure work areas are clear enough to reach harbourage sites and following the instructions given for pets and children.
After treatment, you should follow the aftercare guidance provided and monitor the hotspots that were identified during inspection. If you keep seeing silverfish, the next action depends on the inspection findings and the conditions on your property.
DIY measures often miss the true harbourage areas and the conditions that support silverfish activity. If moisture and hiding places are still present, the insects can reappear even if you see fewer for a short time.
